If property damage is violence, oil spills are mass violence and should be prosecuted as such. Flint, Michigan is violence. Wrongfully evicting homeowners is violence. Failing to maintain our infrastructure until it collapses is violence. Destroying homeless encampments is violence. Strip mining is violence.

But they're not. After all, if they were, we'd have to do something about it. Since we're not a violent people.
